IoT

An Introduction

THE INTERNET
Technologists say, the world has turned to a Global Village. Well, the
credit to this goes to the Internet.
The Internet has made distances shorter and the world smaller.
The Internet is defined as the worldwide interconnection of individual
networks operated by government, industry, academia, and private
parties.
In a matter of very few years, the Internet consolidated itself as a very
powerful platform that has changed forever the way we do business,
and the way we communicate.
Size of Internet Expanding Daily. Every hour, every minute, rather every
second.

PRESENT SCENARIO

Can We Have Such A Day?

Well Actually, we already have it!

IoT The Magic Term!

What is IoT?
It is an elusive concept.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of uniquely identifiable
embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure.

IoT is expected to offer advanced connectivity of devices,

systems, and services that goes beyond machine-to-machine
communicationsand covers a variety of protocols, domains,
and applications.
The interconnection of these embedded devices
(includingsmart objects), is expected to usher in automation
in nearly all fields, while also enabling advanced applications
like aSmart Grid, a modernizedelectrical gridthat uses
analogor digitalinformation to gather and act on information,
such as information about the behavior of suppliers and

IoT A Brief History

TheIoT Timeline
The concept of a network of smart devices was discussed as
early as 1982, with a modified Coke machine becoming the
first internet connected appliance,able to report its inventory
and whether newly loaded drinks were cold.
In 1994 Reza Raji described the concept inIEEE Spectrum as
"moving small packets of data to a large set of nodes, so as to
integrate and automate everything from home appliances to
entire factories.
However, only in 1999 did the field start gathering
momentum.Bill Joyenvisioned Device to Device (D2D)
communication as part of his "Six Webs" framework, presented
at the World Economic Forum at Davos in 1999.Kevin Ashton,
who is often regarded as the originator of IoT, first proposed
the term "Internet of Things" in the same year.

 What it takes IoT to function?

In a word: Sensors.
Many IoT devices have sensors that can register
changes in temperature, light, pressure, sound
These
and motion.
sensors are part of a device category
called a micro electromechanical system (MEMS)
and are manufactured in much the same way
microprocessors are manufactured.
This is a circuit with a limited degree of
programming capability and is hardwired to do
something specific.

 The Primal Challenge

 How do IoT devices communicate?

An IoT device will have a radio that
can send and receive wireless
communications.
IoT wireless protocols are designed
accomplish some basic services:
1) Operate on low power
2) Use low bandwidth
3) Work on a mesh network.

to

 Some work on the 2.4 GHz band, which is

also used by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the
sub-GHz range.
The sub-GHz frequencies, including 868
and 915 MHz bands, may have the
advantage of less interference.

 Why is low power and low

bandwidth important in IoT?
Some IoT devices will get power from electrical
systems, but many, such as door locks and
standalone sensors, will use batteries.
These devices send and receive small amounts of
information intermittently or periodically.
Consequently, the battery life of an IoT device can
range from 1.5 years to a decade,
if the battery lasts that long.
One IoT maker,Insteon, uses both
radio and powerline communication,
which can send data over existing
electrical wiring as well as via a
radio, which it says will offer an
increased measure of reliability.

 Will I need a gateway or hub in the IoT?

A gateway, bridge or hub provides a connection
point between your home network and other
devices.
The hub works with your home router and provides
communications to the machines, devices and
sensors that are part of your IoT universe.
This will also be true for the washing machine that
is connected to a smart metering system and starts
a wash only when electric rates are at their lowest
point.
These connections will be established through hubs
that support multiple wireless technologies.
